The History of the Seattle Mariners, Part 1


A friend turned me onto this six-part documentary on YouTube documenting the history of the Seattle Mariners. I nearly completely binged it on my flight home yesterday. I'm not declaring myself a Mariners fan (my wife and her family would not be happy) but I certainly appreciate the team a great deal more with this history.

The James Webb Space Telescope Reveals Fomalhaut's Disk In Unprecedented Detail

The latest jaw dropping space view courtesy of the James Webb Space Telescope.

Fomalhaut, a bright, young star 25 light-years away in the constellation Piscis Austrinus, illuminates a disk of planet-forming debris. Such debris disks contain clues about exoplanets and even smaller bodies that would otherwise remain hidden.

...

Previously, Hubble, the Spitzer Space Telescope, and other telescopes have shown a far-out debris ring surrounding Fomalhaut that’s akin to the Kuiper Belt in our solar system. Analysis of the system’s brightness at different wavelengths had also suggested the presence of a dusty inner disk. Now, the new JWST images reveal unprecedented detail, including a new belt inside the first, an extended inner disk, and a gap between the two. They also show what might be a dust cloud in the outer, previously detected ring.

I haven't played much pretty chess lately. And in fact, this checkmate came after missing another forced line. But I did appreciate the aesthetics of this one.
